Biking Easter

Happy Easter to all! Christine and I spoke in church today. Quite a task to speak on Easter, not only because of the task to speak in public but also the larger congregation and importance of the subject. Christine surprised me and used our ride up Bald Peak to frame her talk about the role of Christ in our lives and our dealing with and overcoming life's challenges. She really inspired me.

It was a good week of riding for me. I was on the bike 5 days this week for over 100 miles of riding. According to the Garmin, all told was over 5000 feet of climbing. I met the goal of climbing over 1000 feet every time on the bike. I even rode next to Christine for her three miles of running. Yoda would have cringed and would have told me to get off the bike and run. I am just not there yet to be able to run. Once I am under 200 I think I'll give it a try. Christine will then get a chance to take me on a "Bald Peak" run.

I'll need to ride in the morning this week for two days since I will be in Tacoma for the majority of the week at an Operations meeting. Bib Poppy and I will be riding the century this coming weekend. JD is doing his spring century at the same time so we can suffer together, only a few hundred miles apart. Good Luck JD, may the wind be at your back all day long.
